PROMO: The Truth About Fiction

[Michael D Friedman]

Honestly, I stumbled across a reference to RACC somewhere during my internet travels, so I decided to check things out again. I didn't even know you could access it via Google Groups.

Anyway, I have done a bunch of writing since I've been gone, mostly screenplays that have I've produced myself (mostly shorts)or sat on a shelf collecting dust. I've also taken a few stabs at writing novels, but I seem to peter out a few chapters in. I think it just seems like a daunting task, a novel. So, I kind of lose steam.

I figure going back to the short story, serialized format of RACC, it's easier to hold myself accountable and produce new content without worrying about the "end goal." Not to say I don't have specific plots laid out, just that I focus on each issue, the task seems less daunting. Plus, this way I get feedback as I write, which I feel always inspires me to do better/more. That's the plan anyway...
